And this is the way 1233 3, 19 | Now, if the soul were not in this condition, but were 1234 3, 19 | which is what the souls in the second state do, and, 1235 3, 19 | these two states which stand in the most perfect light." ~ 1236 3, 20 | devout soul once received, in which the method of arriving 1237 3, 20 | glorious light, are perfect in every condition in which 1238 3, 20 | perfect in every condition in which they may be, and receive 1239 3, 20 | They have known and tasted in the light My Eternal Will, 1240 3, 20 | and permits these troubles in order that you should be 1241 3, 20 | you should be sanctified in Me. Wherefore the soul having 1242 3, 20 | nothing else except seeing in what way she can preserve 1243 3, 20 | intellect and fixing it in the light of faith upon 1244 3, 20 | the most terrible slavery in which you could ever be, 1245 3, 20 | yourselves down to rest in self-love and ignorance 1246 3, 20 | presuming to choose to serve Me in your own way, instead of 1247 3, 20 | your own way, instead of in the way which I have made 1248 3, 20 | seeing, knowing, and tasting, in its full sweetness, this 1249 3, 20 | she does not see herself in herself, seeking her own 1250 3, 20 | one who has placed his all in this light and knowledge, 1251 3, 20 | motives, and is clothed in perfect light, loving Me 1252 3, 20 | perfect light, loving Me in perfect purity, with no 1253 3, 20 | body, though not as an end in itself, but as a means which 1254 3, 20 | of souls.

So much so, that, 1272 3, 20 | directly to Me, participates in My Purity. Another thing 1273 3, 20 | never judge the will of man in anything that you may see 1274 3, 20 | should you consider, both in them and in yourself.

In this way you will arrive 1284 3, 20 | not be scandalized, either in Me or in your neighbor. 1285 3, 20 | scandalized, either in Me or in your neighbor. Otherwise 1286 3, 20 | instead of My will acting in him.

It is true that, in this life, they receive 1302 3, 21 | the earnest, and taste it in this way, namely that the 1303 3, 21 | guarantee which is given to man, in virtue of which he expects 1304 3, 21 | perfection of the earnest-money in itself, but through faith, 1305 3, 21 | this enamored soul, clothed in My Truth, having already 1306 3, 21 | having already received in this life the earnest of 1307 3, 21 | but expects perfection in immortal life.

A man in mortal sin is deprived of 1453 3, 28 | of grace, and he who is in grace has illuminated the 1454 3, 28 | which preserves it, and, in that light, he knows the 1455 3, 28 | brought together and ordered in My Name. For, as soon as 1456 3, 28 | faith above sensual vision in the contemplation of Me, 1457 3, 28 | disposed, the soul participates in Me, the Sun who illuminates 1458 3, 28 | and anointed and placed in the mystical body of the 1459 3, 28 | body of the holy Church, in order to administer Me, 1460 3, 28 | this Blood; this they do in two ways, actually, in administering 1461 3, 28 | do in two ways, actually, in administering the Sacraments, 1462 3, 28 | spiritually, by shedding forth in the mystical body of the 1463 3, 28 | Truth, which they administer in the ardent love with which 1464 3, 28 | lives of those who live in disorder and darkness of 1465 3, 28 | and darkness of sin, and in coldness, through the privation 1466 3, 28 | them, as I narrated to you in another place, and each 1467 3, 28 | each one has given light in the holy Church, according 1468 3, 28 | preaching and doctrine, and in the end with blood; Gregory 1469 3, 28 | holy faith, which he made in word and in deed, receiving 1470 3, 28 | which he made in word and in deed, receiving virtue from 1471 3, 28 | they brought forth fruit in this spouse and extended 1472 3, 28 | holy faith was rekindled in the darkened. And prelates, 1473 3, 28 | darkened. And prelates, placed in the position of the prelacy 1474 3, 28 | most ardent love, shone in them, and in their subjects, 1475 3, 28 | love, shone in them, and in their subjects, with the 1476 3, 28 | the light of discretion. In them, principally because 1477 3, 28 | they justly paid Me My due, in rendering glory and praise 1478 3, 28 | mind, celebrated, burning in the furnace of love. And, 1479 3, 28 | graveness of the fault. And, in order to correct it and 1480 3, 28 | those under them lived in holy, true fear, and grew 1481 3, 28 | like sweet smelling flowers in the mystic body of the holy 1482 3, 28 | that pearl which shines in them, and which gave peace 1483 3, 28 | which gave peace and light in the minds of the people 1484 3, 28 | divine law, can be kept in any degree without holy 1485 3, 28 | still to remain obstinate in his evil doing, he would 1486 3, 28 | off from the congregation in order that he corrupt not 1487 3, 28 | they act not so today, but, in cases of evil doing, they 1488 3, 28 | root of self-love is alive in them, wherefore they bear 1489 3, 28 | but act like blind ones, in that they see not the real 1490 3, 28 | faults they should correct in others, because the same 1491 3, 28 | themselves comprehended in the guilt, and they therefore 1492 3, 28 | ones not to be punished. In such as these are fulfilled 1493 3, 28 | I have told you, because in them is no darkness of sin, 1494 3, 28 | tepid, because they burn in the furnace of My love, 1495 3, 28 | of justice was not dimmed in My anointed ones, My Christs ( 1496 3, 28 | you), but was resplendent in them, wherefore they embraced 1497 3, 28 | guardian angels, inspiring in their hearts holy and good 1498 3, 28 | burning love, like lanterns in the mystic body of the holy 1499 3, 28 | necessity being the poor in the Church.
